whitewitch:Brock defeated him in the last Wrestlemania. A record was broken. 21-1. |
Captainswag225:I agree. He's awesome. He throws Cena around like a flour bag. |
whitewitch:Undertaker? |
Kaboninc, what should I send in the mail, sir? |

Niklausa:Really? My mind tells me you're the biased one here. But it's cool, bro. I've apologised. Kindly let it slide, sir. Thanks. |
whitewitch:You have a crush on my Ishi? ![]() If not for the fact that we belong in the same club, I would have...well, unpat you on the back. Up Barcelona! ![]() |
Niklausa:Okay. Even though I don't entirely agree with you,I apologise for upsetting you and her. Bless you, sir. ![]() |
kaboninc:Sent. |

Divepen1:I apologise for everything. |
FireVexen:but i was not satisfied with the way the beggars on the road treated my dog and _____ There is still a teeny-tiny error here. This one is better: but I was not satisfied with the way the beggars on the road treated my dog and _____ Any time I is standing alone in any position of a sentence, it must be written in the upper case. Having cleared that, I shall go to say that the correct pronoun for that is me. Explanation: This time around, the persona is the object (the verb treated is being performed on him). In another instance, let's assume the words 'my dog and' doesn't exist in the sentence, then we'll have the sentence like this: but I was not satisfied with the way the beggars on the road treated _____ Should the answer to that be I or me? Ha-ha! There is your answer! ![]() I hope my explanations helped. |
FireVexen:____ and folajimi okupe took the other day, This one, too, is wrong. There is an error in arrangement of subjects. It should be this: Folajimi Okupe and____ took the other day, In the arrangement of more than one subjects, the pronoun should always come last. In that regard, I still remains the correct pronoun to fill that gap because we are still talking about the subjects here (the performers of the action took) This one is straight-forward enough, isn't it? Let's proceed. ![]() |
FireVexen:___ decided to took the other route Firstly, there is an error in the extract above, it should be this: ___ decided to take the other route Note the difference in tense usage. However, the correct pronoun to fill that gap is I. Explanation: I is a Subject-Pronoun (that is, it performs the action). The answer cannot be Me because Me is an Object-Pronoun (that is, the action is being performed on it). For example: I slapped him. Subject. He slapped me. Object. Is this clear enough? Okay. Now let's proceed. |
FireVexen:Okay, sir. Let me check it out. |
Ama's sister is pregnant for Afam. Her father was destroyed by a company owned by Awesome's family. Lola has a baby with Awesome! Wow! |
texanomaly:Thanks. Same here, too. I've got to make research on that word. |
Beautiful! When you said examinations would be done on stories, did you mean the stories would become comprehension passages? Cc: Divepen1 |
Wow! |
texanomaly:When you say 'short', do you mean physically short or...psychologically? Americans are famous for their ironic terms. |
bigsholly: I want to immortalise him.Thank you, ma'am, for reading. It's been a while. I hope you're good. |
Timi got himself a change of clothes, then he lodged in a cheap hotel. With his grnadfather's money, he enjoyed the best food and drink the hotel could offer. Spending many years under close watch and limited ration had had its effect on him. Timi ate voraciously. He didn't care about his extravagant expenditure this time because he knew that he would soon become a rich young man. After having his fill of pleasant ambrosia, Timi slept early in the evening and woke up late the following day. It was past midday of the next day when Timi rose from bed. He quickly showered, shaved and wore new clothes. He set his old shirt and trousers on fire before leaving the hotel. He went back to his grandfather's house. There was a young police officer at the entrance. Timi was denied entrance by the two police officers who manned the surroundings. "You can't go in," explained the first policeman, "the old man living there is dead." "What!" Timi feigned ignorance, "My grandfather is dead?" Timi was not like most of the other criminals who would have broken down and released crocodile tears. He was not programmed to exhibit such weakness. Instead of weeping, he asked the police officers what had happened. "I'm not allowed to say. Please step back." Said the second officer. "But I'm the old man's grandson, I have the right to go in." "We're carrying out our orders. No one is allowed to go in." "I want to see your superior. Kindly tell him I'm Timi Alara, the old man's grandson. I'm sure he'll want to see me." "Wait here." The second policeman ordered and went into the house. He came out a few seconds later with a big man. Timi instantly felt threatened by the man's appearance. "Good afternoon, young man," the man greeted and gave a charming smile. "Good afternoon, sir," Timi responded politely. "I am Detective Lot. Officer Kola told me you claimed to be the old man's grandson." "Yes, sir, I am." "What's your name?" "Timi Alara." "Oh, I think I remember you," Lot remarked, "Aren't you the boy who hacked his father to pieces and stuffed him in a coffin a few years ago?" Timi gave a proud smile and said, "That was five years ago. I was cutting down on expenses." "I thought you were in prison." "I was released yesterday." The detective stared at him with suspicious eyes. Timi stared back at the huge man. He knew the detective was beginning to suspect him of having something to do with his grandfather's death. He also knew that there was nothing the man could do to him if there was no evidence. And Timi was sure that he left nothing incriminating behind the previous day. "Your grandfather died yesterday," the detective said. There was a tone of accusation behind his statement. "That's so sad! What a coincidence! How did he die?" The detective took a moment before replying, "It appears as if he fell down the stairs. Why don't you come in?" Both men went into the house. There were two other men in the living room. The body had been moved but Timi could still see the trails of blood from the top of the stairs down to the floor. "Mr Timi Alara, meet Doctor Elijah." Said Lot. Timi ahook hands with a man who didn't look at all like a doctor. The man was dressed in a pair of blue jeans trousers and a grey T-shirt with an alligator on the left chest. "And this is Barrister Akanni; he was your grandfather's lawyer up to his demise." Timi shook hands with the second man who didn't look like a lawyer either. The man was dressed in local attire of Ankara, and a dented cap rested smugly on his head. He looked more like a traditional drummer than a lawyer. The man looked at Timi with eyes that studied, weighed and judged him without pretense that they were not studying, weighing and judging him. Timi flushed slightly under the frankness of the lawyer's scrutiny. "We found a handwritten will in the old man's pocket," said Lot, "he left everything to you in the will." Timi smiled and sat proudly on a cushion. "I'm not surprised, I'm his only surviving relative. Even if he hadn't written that, I would still inherit everything." "I doubt that. Barrister Akanni told me the old man drew a will six months ago leaving everything to an orphanage." "Well," Timi spread his hand, "he must have had a rethink. Family first, as the saying goes." "The handwritten will was dated yesterday, the same day you were released. I find that suspicious." Timi still shrugged indifferently. He has nothing on me, thought Timi confidently. "He must have done it as a welcome-back present for me. I'm sure he greatly missed me. Too bad I didn't have the chance to meet him before he died." Timi was proud of himself. He was giving the perfect replies. "You were released yesterday, right?" "Right." "Where were you after your release?" "I lodged in a hotel. You may call the hotel attendant. He will confirm my story." "I don't need to do that," replied Lot, "I believe you—Timi Alara—killed your grandfather." |
